Now that's funny, he really needs to pull the finger out our he will be gonesky.

Maybe Moussa is still waiting on further tests from neuro specialists before working out a return-to-play timeframe for LL. Damn shame as would have loved to see Luke trialled in that left centre position but his longterm welfare is paramount.

The guys being labelled as Round 2 …. Are we basing this on any actual news ? I haven’t heard much on the Toa injury …but haven’t been spending much time here of late …

Yep it's correct so far according to the tigers, there are some reserve graders too that are unavailable/injured but they are not in the top 30

Its hard when we play like ducks. Maybe this year we can play like Eagles.

Soar like an eagle or end up with a sore head.

That’s why he’s so short?

For mine Turuva to FB if needed, Staines on wing.
Klemmer in for Bird 😆 no one in KOE put their hand up to be picked unfortunately

Staines is a big step back
